Behind Enemy Lines Radio

If we're working with Donald Trump, we tell him to stay away from Texas Senator Ted Cruz. He's dangerous in debates and crazy smart. If we're working with Ted Cruz, we tell him to stay away from NY billionair Donald Trump. He's been impervious to attack and his rise in the polls defies logical and conventional election thinking. So why are they locked in mortal (political) combat? Gene Berardelli and Russell Gallo discuss. Oh, and Gene slams NYC Republicans offended by #NewYorkValues, Russ slams Chris Christie and both hosts slam the Democrats! PLUS! A great interview with the American Conservative Union's Matt Schlapp with a great preview of CPAC! Tons of show comin' at 'cha!

Behind Enemy Lines is here to break down the "S#!t Obama Tells Us" - otherwise known as the SOTU - State of the Union Address. If you tuned in, you heard a very warped view of how President Obama sees what he accomplished in his two terms. Russ and I agree - we don't think that Obama definition of what he has done should be lauded as anything to be seen as a source of pride. . We discussed what the President prattled on and on about in his last SOTU, parsing little white lie from full-blown fabrication, all while taking YOUR comments in our "Listen Live" chatroom! What will Obama say? a lot of half-truths and cheap pops. What will Gene and Russ say? You'll just have to tune in to find out!

Polanco, you should. A former NYC Elections Commissioner, J.C. Polanco is the Republican contributor for Univision 41 and has spent his entire career serving others and is committed to public service. Born in Harlem and raised in the Fordham section of the Bronx to immigrants from the Dominican Republic, J.C. has developed a reputation in NY politics and media as a learned voice on local and national airwaves.

MRC VP of Business & Culture, Newsbusters' own Dan Gainor, goes back Behind Enemy Lines to talk about that debacle of a debate that occurred last week on CNBC. Republican presidential campaigns met recently to discuss how to move forward on the remaining debates given what transpired on CNBC. While it remains to be seen which measures will prevail in their list of demands to the networks, one thing is certain: the networks are on notice that left-wing moderators will not be allowed to sabotage GOP primary debates. We'll talk to Dan about his recent contribution to Fox News, get the latest on what may happen next, and more!
